And for all the wags out there: how it must burn you that the Pope- whoever he may be- will always be more important than you. Do pile on with your pointless attacks and vulgarities. He was chosen and right and so will the next one be.

North Korea appeared to have conducted its third underground nuclear
bomb test Tuesday, as the U.S. Geological Survey reported a seismic
disturbance centered near the site of the secretive regime's two
previous nuclear tests.

The area around the
reported epicenter of the magnitude 4.9 disturbance has little or no
history of earthquakes or natural seismic hazards, according to U.S.
Geological Survey maps. The disturbance took place at a depth of about 1
kilometer, the USGS said.

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that 19 children,
who were to be sold to fundamentalist Islamic boarding schools
(madrassas), have been rescued. Traffickers lied to the children’s
parents, saying they would take the children to Christian boarding
schools in Dhaka, when in fact, they were intending to sell the children
to various madrassas. Students from Dhaka University discovered the
children and rescued them. This is not the first instance of Christian
children being trafficked to madrassas, as upwards of 150 children have
been rescued from similar situations since July 2012. ...This is not the first instance of traffickers targeting low-income,
Christian families due to their faith and vulnerability. This year
alone, 55 children have been rescued from madrassas in Dhaka. On Jan. 2,
police rescued 21 children from five madrassas and “other Islamic
organizations.” ICC sources say that these children were forcibly
converted to Islam and had their Christian names legally changed to
Muslim ones. They believe the children, once fully brainwashed at the
madrassa, were “destined for suicide squads” for use in jihad.
